TDI's get better fuel economy than any high-bred battery operated vehicles---just ask the question where does the energy come from to build these expensive batteries and then charge them on a regular basis! On top of that what is the life-span of the batteries and cost to the tax payers? It's also interesting that the government funded battery companies are filing bankruptcy now! Wow the people have been scammed----and people are driving and buying these cars and then they can't resell them---they are worth nothing! VW---TDI's are working in foreign countries and more and more people are getting the word here in the US! VW's are growing here and I hope it continues!

Why can they sell vw tdi's in the Jetta...etc but they can't in the Tiguan? Don't understand the hold ups! I'm a truck driver and the emission requirements are more destructive to the environment dropping mpg greatly on average 2-4 mpg on all truck models----meaning more fuel is being burned and if people think that with these emission controls no polution is kicked out in the atmosphere they're totally wrong!
